Online Partial Discharge Measurements on Power Cables
Partial discharges (PD) are in general a consequence of local electrical stress concentrations in the insulation or on the surface of the insulation. Corona is a form of partial discharge that occurs in gaseous media around conductors which are remote from solid or liquid insulation…

Power Scenario in Haryana
Haryana power establishments have been a forerunner in terms of growth in comparison to national capacity creation. On the one hand, state boasts to have surplus electricity which is distributed by two state-owned power utilities.
Power Scenario in Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu is one of the early achievers of 100% village electrification and has the largest wind and solar power generation capacity across the country. The state has been maintaining almost 24 hours power supply to all consumers.
Thermography in Photovoltaic Plants
The causes could be like; Carelessness during installation , degeneration of the laminates or slow damage due to years of UV radiation and weathering.
Power Factor Compensation & Harmonic Filtration in Integrated Steel Plants
Power factor compensation and harmonic filtration in integrated steel plants is a tool to reduce stress in electrical system. The paper focuses on energy efficiency issues and advantages with compensation and harmonic filtration. The paper presents comparative study of compensation requirement in various steel plant units. It would be interesting to find that requirement is the most in Rolling Mills, BOF, CCP, BF & Sinter Plant. In fact the entire steel plant is energy guzzler and with advent of drives, automation and precision requirement, fanning out electrical system stress has become more important and crucial… - Anil Kumar Choudhary, Md Mobinul Islam

Analysis Of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems
Conventionally, grid connected photovoltaic energy conversion systems are composed of a DC-DC converter and an inverter. The DC-DC converter is controlled to track the maximum power point of the photovoltaic array and the inverter is controlled to produce current in such a way that the system current has low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and it is in phase with the utility voltage. The efficiency of the conventional system is low because the DC-DC converter and the inverter are connected in series. The purpose of this article is to design a photovoltaic generation system for connection in a three-phase system using only a DC/AC inverter... - Dr. L Ashok Kumar
